You are not alone
“Leading a Christian life isn’t easy. We’re faced with trials, temptations and disputes that have the potential to deflect us from our Creator. Everyday we’re faced with trials; and sometimes it makes us doubt the omnipotent presence of God. But it is in those hardest times that God comforts us with the hope that we are not alone. Deuteronomy 21:6 says “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you”. Reflecting on the way God has led us, one can always say that God never did leave us alone. This sparks the assurance that no problem is bigger than God and no crisis too great for Him to handle. God only asks us to cast our worries on Him and wait upon Him patiently and watch as He does miracles. He gives us the strength to face the giants and a hope to hold on to. He reminds us that even in the hardest and darkest of times, when we’re fighting to hold it all together, He is there, watching over us. He also promises us rest, a peace that surpasses all understanding even as we go through such times, confirming what He said in Matthew 11:28; which says,”Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
